AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1059 PM CST Fri Dec 13 2019
Discussion. Issued at 310 PM CST FRI DEC 13 2019
Primary forecast focus is on Winter Precipitation Sunday into Monday.
Key Messages .
1. Snow and a wintry mix are on tap for Sunday through Monday. Light snow is expected through the afternoon, Sunday, before increasing chances overnight through Monday morning. Locations south of the Missouri river have the potential for a mix of light snow and freezing drizzle for several hours Sunday night into Monday. Travel conditions will be difficult for much of Sunday through the Monday Morning commute.
2. Colder temperatures will spread across the region tonight into Saturday. Highs will struggle to rise out of the 30s and will likely struggle to climb above freezing Sunday and Monday.
Technical Discussion .
A weak 500mb short wave trough will move east and southeast across the area through Saturday morning, the associated cold front will drop southward. In response, some light rain will remain possible across central and eastern Missouri through the early morning. Temperatures on Saturday will reside in the 30s.
Into Sunday, the broad upper trough over the Intermountain West will pivot, with a broad area of forcing spread across Kansas into Missouri north of the weak surface trough stretched from the western high plains to the Ozarks. This will act as a focus for light snow development through the day, primarily in the afternoon into the early evening. Towards sunset, the upper trough will begin to lift northeast, with increased chances for precipitation across eastern Kansas and Missouri. The challenge at the moment is precipitation along and south of the psuedo-warm front positioned along the Ozark Plateau. Bufkit profiles sampled are primarily all below freezing, but lacking in cloud ice aloft. With the profiles from -6 to -3 C deep, and saturated in the lower levels, thinking we'll end up with a mix of light snow and freezing drizzle for several hours early Monday morning across the Ozarks into central Missouri, south of the Missouri River. Expect cold enough profiles for snow to be the primary precipitation type across the KC Metro, but cannot rule out an hour or two of mixed precipitation late Sunday into Monday. By Sunrise, expect all snow across the region.
Snow amounts will be between 1 to 4 inches, with amounts up to 5 inches possible across portions of central and northeastern Missouri. Across southern and central Missouri, freezing drizzle may cause some minor glazing on elevated surfaces overnight.
Expect quiet weather and a slow warm up to more mild conditions by Thursday into Friday.
Aviation. (For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night) Issued at 1058 PM CST FRI DEC 13 2019
VFR conditions will last a few more hours before a cold front passes through which will develop a MVFR ceiling with a chance of IFR ceilings around sunrise. Some isolated rain showers have developed along the I-70 corridor, but these will move through the TAF locations quickly and likely before the beginning of the 06Z period. Winds will also shift with the passage of this front to the north and start to pick up speed with gusts in the low to mid 20s possible. These lower ceilings will likely last through the morning until some drier air makes its way into the region, finally bringing the area back to VFR mid morning.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
